NFF’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport, confirmed on Thursday that the clash with Poland will take place at the PGE Narodowy Stadium in the country’s capital, Warsaw on 3rd June, while the the clash with Portugal will take place in Portugal on 10th June, with a venue to be announced in the coming days.
The game against the Seleção das Quinas – name of the Portugal senior men team – will be the last game for the hosts before they fly to the far west to take part in this summer’s FIFA World Cup finals being jointly hosted by USA, Canada and Mexico.
The Cup holders, Super Eagles, are also scheduled to defend their crown at this year’s Unity Cup Tournament in London, taking place 26th – 30th May.
